·With over two fifty scholars throughout the world, and funded by my Graduate Research Mentorship Fellowship research grant, I founded this research group to provide scholars a space to collaborate on, mentor students of, and peer review papers about, critical food studies projects from a critical race perspective. This research group will also produce the first issue of the new peer reviewed journal Journal of Critical Race and Food Studies, scheduled for spring 2012.

One thought on “Curriculum Vitae of A. Breeze Harper”

I love your work, today I thought about recent horse meat found in European processed foods, I wondered what is else that we are eating but we don’t know yet or it’s toxic…I live in European but from I’m South Africa, my PhD research interest intends to focus on comparative theory of societal structures and the role of capitalism. It explores the role of capitalism in attracting black juveniles in American and South African prisons. It can cost $300 for labour and manufacturing to produce a luxury car part like a door, this excludes pension schemes but if more boys are thrown into jail, it can cost only $1 for labour while manufacturing costs can be reduced because there is no need to comply to ISOs for health and safety of workers meaning that, they can inhale dangerous toxins and car sprays without considering their health risks.
